Delicious and quick to make, the zucchini and basil crepes are ready in less than 5 minutes!
Yes, because the zucchinis are used raw, which speeds up the preparation significantly.
Very tasty thanks to the basil, they can be filled with cold cuts, smoked salmon, bresaola…
So, you take the food processor, pour in all the ingredients, and in no time, the batter is ready to be cooked in a pan.
Do you want to know how we ate them? With smoked salmon and cream cheese; really delicious! But since they were to be consumed for dinner, I couldn’t photograph even one, given the poor lighting!
But what matters is the preparation; then the rest is up to your imagination! So if you have zucchinis in the fridge and want to prepare them differently, make the zucchini and basil crepes.

Ingredients
With these quantities, you will get 5/6 medium crepes. The indicated cooking time refers to a single crepe.
- 7 oz zucchinis
- 1.75 oz oat flour
- 2 eggs (medium)
- 1.75 oz plant-based milk (or regular)
- 1 pinch salt
- basil (a few leaves)
Tools
- Food Processor
Steps
– Wash, trim, and slice the zucchinis into rounds or chunks and place them in the food processor with basil, salt, and egg.
– Add the other ingredients and blend until you obtain a batter that is not too thick. (Check the consistency as it may vary depending on the flour)
– Grease the pan, heat it, and then cook one scoop of batter at a time.
– Flip them once, after about 3 minutes, when the edges begin to lift.
Variations:
– You can also use all-purpose flour or whole wheat or spelt flour. The important thing is to measure the liquid; you might need a little more or a little less.
– If you don’t want to use plant-based drinks or milk, you can use water, making them lighter.
– Instead of basil, you can use parsley.
